3:30 first exercise 10:45 second exercise

I have become an addict to watching your lessons videos. You are not only a legend drummer but a great tutor Rob. You ll have the blessings of millions around the world who are picking up drumming watching your videos. This morning I played along double strokes for 20 Minutes. I have now come to office and watching your single stroke lessons which I ll practice at home in the evening.

I've been doing this for almost a year now and my hands have improved massively 👍

Workouts start at 3:36 and 10:46

Despite bumping this down to 100 BPM, putting my phone on silent, closing the door and the blinds, I finally conquered this exercise #EASILYDISTRACTED

I was appalled at how hard I found this, so I reduced the tempo to 90 then increased by 10 every 5 mins and VIOLA, started to fly. Thanks Rob for a simple yet effective practice.

My single stroke was weak, mostly my left hand being unpracticed. These exercises are great for bringing it up to quality.

This is SO timely. I just bought a DW practice pad set last night and decided I was going to spend the next couple of weeks developing my single strokes. Thanks for this!

Love the encouragement while tapping.

Thank you for everything Mr Beatdown

Awesome, thank you! Keep coming up with more of these pad workouts, please!

Love this exercise - thanks Rob

I have practiced these exercises for about 3-4 weeks now and today there was pretty much no tension anymore and it gets easier every time. These two have already done wonders! 👍

Rob this is such a good workout and I find that it’s bringing in a “flow” to my playing and the muscles are getting comfortable with this tempo. Simple And effective. Kudos

Man! I'm just starting and glad I found your channel out here!

Thank you so much for all your lessons dude! Ive learnt so so so much!

Brilliant exercises, thanks dude.

@Robbrown Thanks for being my `daily date` for the last two years. I know every nuance of this dude`s voice by heart already. Cheers from Tel-Aviv Israel.

Much respect Rob.

As always Rob, I love your simple breakdowns and genuine teaching skills. You're a true gift to the rest of us aspiring drummers, I never get tired of watching. Thank you so much :)

This has done wonders for me!

You really have inspired me to get down to basics on my pad. Thank you.

Thanx Rob. I'm using a couple of excercises for warmup and they are helping! One love brother!!

So awesome! 🤘🏻

Yeah Rob, I dig this alot.

Im so glad I found you. I love your delivery and down to Earth approach. No nonsense, no fat. I am 63 and returning back to drums. So thanks so much!

Great workout Rob, it feels real good, i even did it with left hand lead and it felt real good ... In a few weeks with all these workout I am sure I will see great improvement in my drumming ... Once again, thanks man!! "Greeting from Jamaica"

Thank You very much for the excellent coaching Rob. I haven't played in about 15 years and these tips are extremely helpful to get me back into shape. I really like your approach and techniques to gain control. Your videos are awesome. Keep up the good work! Thanks, Mark

This is great! Keep doing this 5 minute workouts, those are great to practice, thanks

It feels like being in an live class, great job Rob.

Thank you Rob!

Great exercises ......great Tutorials .....love your U tube Channel 🥁👌

Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge Rob, I use your videos daily either for both practice and inspiration, my my hands and my feet are so improved thanks to these videos and I am a happier drummer and musician. Big love Alex

Great. I 'm playing this everyday. Thanks.

Thanks again Beatdown!!

Rob.. Your the best.

Your videos are awesome! Thank you!

This is brilliant Rob.....

Great bro...Thanks alot your ways to showing.. I trying your ways and i got really clear tone and style. Thanks and God bless. And I waiting your lessons everyday.

Helped a lot... Thanks in tonnes 🙏🙏🙏👍

Rob, thanks a bunch for all of your videos. This one plus another you have on singles for speed are exactly what I need right now. I recently joined and old 80s punk band friends of mine from my teens. At 50, i feel I still shred pretty hard but the quickness of my youth has faded a bit. Mostly because Ive been playing alot more R&B in recent years as my old hardcore bands have disbanded or moved away. First few jams with the new group were great but i would reach for quick single 16ths across the kit and found they just weren’t there for me as easily anymore. I love all of your videos but these two in particular are just what the old dog needed to get back in shape. Thanks again! Youre the best!

Great lesson!!!

appreciate the patience you had making this vid and speaking additional instructions throughout

Another great video and explanation....I really enjoy your videos . Keep them coming

Great lesson brother thanks

Im so glad i found your channel

Great work out, Rob! One quick suggestion if you don't mind. It might be helpful and interesting to get a few close ups of your hand action while you play from different camera angles? its hard to see your left hand with the snare mic blocking the view. Thanks!

Boi, time to get back to some workouts. Thanks man.

Great exercise Thanks👍🏻🤘🏻🥁

I’ve been doing this every day for two month by now, I feel my wrists are becoming really smooth. Thanks a lot!

Gave this a shot with my feet. Gonna be a new daily hand/ foot workout after the Tommy Igoe warmup! Thanks Rob!

Thanks for this video; it helps! Also, I love your shirt.

Thank you Rob for all your great content!!! I’m a grown man trying to reach this goal I’ve had since I was a teenager lol seems harder now but your lessons help and I’m making progress... So thank you!

I dig pros like you! Im on the down right now. Lots of spiritual attack. This helps get my mind off it temporarily.

Love your videos, Rob. Thank you! I also like playing a diddle at the end of each 2nd bar to keep the lead hand alternating.

Now that was awesome !

Nice job, Rob! I love how smooth and relaxed your hands and fingers are! Nice technique!

THANKYOU FOR THIS ,I FIND IT SO EFFECTIVE AND ENJOY PLAYING ALONG WITH YOU !!

Thanks Rob. Started drumming again after too long away from the kit. 20years to be exact. A great exercise, and the benefits are almost immediate. Just zoning out and feeding the muscle memory. Thank you as always sharing so unselfishly

Thanks a lot! improved my singles greatly. I also found that it helps strengthen my weaker hand when I lead with my left (so the accents are on the left hand). In fact after doing this, leading with my right got faster as well. Thanks!

I am a beginner and doing singles on practise pad a lot. You said that speed does not mather in this exercise. But I think there is a lot of speed to be gained here. I have a singles exercise spanning 8th, 16th and 32th notes on 60 bpm. But the accelaration between 16th and 32nd notes is 100%, not really fair, while between 16th and 16th-triplets is 50%. That's why I love your exercise... the accelaration is do-able; easier to crank up the bpm next round... using the 16th to tweak consistency and economy of motion, and the 16th-triplet to accelerate and keep it up/clean. Reason number two of loving this exercise is that it gets me on the grid of even en uneven notes per beat. There is a lot of content in this exercise. Thank you Rob! Love ya man!

Hand burnig up! Very nice and undrstanding manual))

Thanks!

Awesome! Like spinning class for drummers! You’re the best Rob! Fellow drummers. This is valuable education! Please donate or sign up with Patreon so we can keep Rob motivated.

They say that you really have something on lock, autopilot, when you can have a conversation and execute what you are playing at the same time. It's great to see someone as talented as yourself show these kind of weaknesses. It shows us that despite how good we become on this instrument, there is always something to work on and keep fine tuned. You definitely have some of the more real lessons on KZfaq.

Hello Rob, i ve just subscribed. I have been a non profesional drummer for more than 30 years, and a fan of Stewart Copeland (first in my list, followed closely by Neil Peart, my two favourites even if they are very diferent in every sense), and thats the reason i watched one fo your videos in wich you explain some variations SC uses in the hi hat. I found it very usefull and explained in a simple, clear a funny way, (and very important to me, you speak english in a way i can fully understand what you say, since i am from Argentina where we speak spanish) so that s why i subscribed. I tuned my drums following your instructions and it work fine and easy to do, only gave a very litle more tension

Nice little work out,,,,,,, totally dig it. :] thx beat down.

Hi Rob, After many years of playing, watching your videos has made me realize how my sticking skills suck! Thanks for the inspiration to getting back to basics, now im practicing your lessons every day 🤟

Thank you, BeatDown! This exercise is awesome and even after doing it for a few times, I already noticed a difference. I've been doing an endurance pack. Both exercises, each 5 minutes right and then 5 min left lead. And then on the kit. Trying to put the accents as cymbal crashes. Not easy (at least for me).. You have made this drummer's playing much much much more solid, Rob. Thank you... Plus live BPM and Moises have been a game changer, as well. Love you brother, God bless 💙

Working out with you bro! Thanks !

I’ve been using this to build my left hand. Leading and Playing the quarter note pulse on the left. Almost a completely different thing when you are starting out with it haha. Only took a couple of weeks and I’ve seen massive benefits. Thanks for these videos, you help keep me motivated

This is what I needed and I could simply increases the tempo and it will also help increase speed and endurance. Thanks!

Amazing!

Good stuff

What a great exercise I love this dude he is great

Thank U my brotha beatdown Brown, it's great being able to play along with you man. 5 min Single and the big 20min doubles work out are great.Your the best teacher I have ever had, thanx again!!!drummerT60+:) peace*

Like most drummers I've spent countless hours working on most rudiments and even the hybrids. Seems I struggle with the simplest sticking of all, single stroke roll! Probably the most important one as well! Thanks Rob!

Wow ! Sooo Good.

Holy wow man. You know me, I been so lazy all these years. But I’ve been on a pad a teeny bit lately and this here video is what’s going to kickstart me into a new thing. Instead of five minutes each I’m goin 10 and man oh man what a workout. Im gonna keep doin them and see what happens. Thanks man.

And then restart with the left... Awesome exercises bro!

Great workout Rob! Thank you for the workout. I did the 20 double and two 5 minute singles instead of playing the kit today. My hands feel good, but I cant say the same for my forearms. Look out Popeye! LOL. Will totally add to my drum practice sessions. Now for the finger exercises.

Thank you for pushing me!

Great stuff - left forearm is smoked, but I'm loving these exercises!

Great video. As with the 4800 doubles, really seeing improvements. Thanks Rob

Thanks, I need to work on these

Good workout

That funky workout loop though ....
